Oghenekowhoyan Onaibe Desmond, better known as Destalker, a stand-up comedian, has admitted that he picked up dancing from working as a mortician.

The 39-year-old claimed that before starting his rib-cracking business, he worked as an undertaker.

He revealed this while participating in the most recent episode of The Honest Bunch Podcast, which he co-hosts with Nedu, a.k.a. actor Chinedu Ani Emmanuel.

The Delta-born comedian said after graduating from the university, he worked as a commercial motorcyclist, aka okada, mortician, and sales boy.

Destalker said, “I started as an okada [commercial motorcyclist] as a graduate. From Okada, I did undertaker. I worked as a sales boy in Enugu.”

Nedu inferred: Undertaker, do you mean to say you sell coffins?”

Destalker rebuffed: “Baba, don’t downgrade me. I carry coffins. I do not sell. Nae, I take dancing. That is why I say that life is a process. And in that process, make sure you enjoy it because every level brings a new devil.

“So, as you go through the process, pinpoint things because you'll use them tomorrow. Now, people go and say, ‘Ah! I love the way you dance when you are on stage.’ I learned to dance from undertaking rehearsals. But now I infuse the dance I learned from undertaking into my comedy.”
